I really like the concept, but the character designs and world visuals disgust me, as well as the somewhat disjointed flow of attack animations. But I'm still willing to give it a try anyway if someone has a good sales pitch.
Character design is a bit subjective. The creator is extremely robust, allowing you to create everything from a reasonably proportionate character to something of nightmares. Hell, you can even create a child/teen character. Basically, the let you do whatever. I, personally, liked the in-game visuals when I played the beta. Combat is essentially Tera. If you're unfamiliar with that, then think of the FFVII Remake trial. They do away with the holy trinity format in favour of real time reaction: blocks, parries and etc.Â
Unfortunately, the actual story and lore is somewhat benign. You're the cliche student whose hometown gets razed and you seek revenge on those who committed the act. I'd say spoilers, however this happens within the first five minutes. From that point forward process is slow. I stopped paying attention because the side quests are your usual run of the mile "fetch me my dress by killing some carbs" (seriously). Granted, I only played to level ten, and heard it picks up soon thereafter.Â
Overall, I say give it a shot on gameplay alone. I don't know enough to say whether the story is worth any investment, but as a free to play. You're not losing anything except time.
